Bushwacker Toyota 4Runner Pocket Style Fender Flare
If you’re looking to add some additional space in the wheel wells to make way for larger rubber to complement that new lift on your Toyota 4Runner, Bushwacker has just released its Pocket Style Fender Flares for 2014-16 models. Featuring recessed stainless-steel hardware, the OEM style fender flares come in a matte-black finish and can be color matched to the stock paint if you want to paint them.

Bushwacker also says the flares, which are constructed of Dura-Flex 2000 material, are UV protected so they won’t fade or chalk. The 4Runner flares will add up to 1.5 inches of tire coverage, and Bushwacker says they install with minimal drilling required. The price for the 4Runner Pocket Style Fender Flare kit is $502.

DragonFire Racing Yamaha YXZ1000R Front Bumper
Yamaha’s new sport-minded YXZ1000R is a unique side-by-side due to the fact that it features a manual-shift sequential gearbox.

DragonFire says the part features lightweight steel construction for durability and performance, and the entire bumper is powered coated black to match the OEM color. Billet end caps seal the bumper, and DragonFire says it is made entirely in the U.S.A. The price for the Yamaha YXZ1000R front bumper is $229. For more information, check out Dragonfireracing.com.

Big Blue: The McMillin Racing Story Book
Off-road racing in Baja has been a family affair since the beginning, and no one knows that fact more than the legendary McMillin racing family. A coffee table book was recently released that chronicles the family’s place in the sport entitled “Big Blue M: The History of McMillin Racing.” The book explores the family’s start in the sport back in 1976 at the SCORE Baja 1000 with family patriarch Corky McMillin purchasing a friend’s old Class 9 Hi-Jumper dune buggy “just to try it once.” The eight-pound, 536-pages book was researched and written by Marty Fiolka, who also penned the book “1000 Miles to Glory.” There was only a limited supply printed, so be sure to snag one before they are gone. Head over to Race-Dez’s shop to pick one up.

 

Can-Am Defender Bed Wall Extender
We recently had the chance to drive Can-Am’s new Defender side-by-side.

One of the coolest and most versatile offerings that caught our eye is the Bed Wall Extender, which not only aids in the ability to carry more gear in the cargo bed, but it also offers the option to mount tools and gear to the walls as well. The Bed Wall Extender (PN: 715002421) has twin rear doors that can be closed, latched open or removed entirely. The system features foldable and removable panels to adapt to the job at hand. Can-Am does note that its Defender Headache Rack is required for proper installation for the Bed Wall Extender.
